Discrepancy work can look slow for different reasons depending on where the record begins.
A shared measure of the problem may matter more than an early solution to one interpretation.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I can handle a problem, but I can’t plan around silence.”
Pablo Diaz · Finance Operations Manager
Manages payroll compliance for a growing services business with employees in multiple states.
What is at stake
Median discrepancy resolution time has risen 22%, but the available evidence supports several causes. You have to weigh a focused pilot against the risk of measuring the wrong bottleneck.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- faster answers vs better diagnosis
- sampled evidence vs reusable measurement
- case speed vs resolution quality
- internal handoffs vs agency delay
